A businessman from central Kashmir’s Budgam district has been found dead at his rented room in tourist resort of Manali in Himachal Pradesh last evening.

21-year-old Muneeb Hassan Mir, son of Nisar Ahmad Mir of Wahdatpora village of Budgam was found hanging inside his rented room at Bhajogi area of Manali by his colleagues yesterday, official sources told news agency Global News Service.

Mir, sources said, was immediately rushed to nearby hospital by his colleagues where doctors declared him brought dead on arrival.
His father Nissar Ahmad said that Muneeb’s death has shattered the family. He said his son had promised him to come home on Monday to attend Muharram.
